Some of the world’s most sophisticated investors have been using Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) data for years to help identify companies that perform well over time in the market.

La mina Marlin de Goldcorp cesó su producción el 31 de mayo de 2017, marcando el final de más de una década de fuertes lazos comunitarios y prácticas de minería sustentables. Ubicada en el altiplano occidental de Guatemala, en el municipio de San Miguel Ixtahuacan, a aproximadamente 300 kilómetros al noroeste de la Ciudad de Guatemala, Marlin empezó su producción a fines de 2005 y pasó a formar parte del portafolio de Goldcorp con la adquisición de Glamis Gold en 2006. La mina operó como una mina tanto subterránea como a tajo abierto durante 12 años, produciendo 2.3 millones de onzas de oro y 63 millones de onzas de plata.
